Michael Chase Adams was 19 when he was killed in Nashville on the evening of January 16, 2023. Investigators found him deceased from gunshot wounds in a yard on Salem Mason Drive; a short distance away, the body of his 14-year-old friend, Cordarion Hall, was found on a baseball field. The double homicide shocked the community.

Born March 25, 2003, in Hermitage, Tennessee, Michael’s family described him as generous, caring, and protective of his mother — a beloved son, grandson, and brother whose sudden death devastated those close to him.

A grand jury later indicted three brothers — Chadwick Wells, 24, Keondre Wells, 21, and Deshawn Wells, 20 — on two counts of premeditated first-degree murder and two counts of felony first-degree murder in connection with the killings. At the time of the indictment, the Wells brothers’ whereabouts were unknown and authorities asked the public for help locating them.

If anyone has information that could help bring Michael’s killers to justice, please share what you know with investigators.
